Various Sew Day

I have a few photos and some info from recent Sew Days.

Gerre has been working on her paper pieced fish blocks. They are really cool looking and a lot of work! They are small paper pieced master pieces. She works on them on and off depending on her whim. One of the reasons I like Sew Day is that I get to see various people’s projects. When people bring the same projects once in a  while, I enjoy seeing the progress.

I am tempted to use the pattern to make my dad another quilt. The first one just used fish fabrics and was one of my first quilts. I know I wouldn’t enjoy a completely paper pieced project, however.

Tim brought the same quilt he has been working on for a month or so. He worked on this quilt at our sewing session at his house. He was chunking it at Sew Day and it was looking fabulous!

He used a pattern called Silas Pew by Jittery Wings Quilt Co. I wouldn’t choose that name, but I am sure the designer has a good reason for calling the pattern that.  Regardless, Tim used solids and few tone-on-tones for his version and it really glows.
